Pilgrimage to 4th Century Ireland: In Search of the Garrulous Foreigner
“My goal was to create a credible background for my YA Historical Fantasy novel, set at the time when Irish Paganism first encountered Christianity.
My unorthodox premise was that in the fourth century a band of Middle Eastern monks had set sail from the Mediterranean and travelled along Ireland’s West coast, and places further north, in search of fellow monks.”
